Greyghost asked me to post an announcement here since he does not have bitcointalk account. He submitted a clearly well thought out marketing and SEO proposal called Dash World: Evolution in Marketing. I would encourage you to visit Dashtalk, Dashwhale, or Dash Chat Slack for further discussion.

SUMMARY
Dash World: Evolution in Marketing places all strategic efforts under one umbrella with the clear focus on Dash’s three main advantages and promotes Dash as:
- An exciting, permissionless investment opportunity, via its MN network,
- The perfect digital cash for the emerging P2P decentralized economy;
- As enabler of our right to privacy via its revolutionary PrivacyProtect (formerly DarkSend) feature.
Tactical steps:
- Marketing focuses on specific areas such as:
-- Masternodes as an investment,
-- Dash’s property as digital cash,
-- PrivacyProtect (a.k.a. DarkSend) by creating “stories” around each revolutionary feature Dash Project represents. - SEO (Google search optimizing) work fixes dash.org weaknesses such as
-- Meta Tags that are now lacking (these are shown as snippets in Google search results);
-- Schema micro-data implementation (structuring the information);
-- Meta tags in foreign languages (with the help of the Foundation): - An outside marketing company helps with:
-- marketing audit;
-- positioning Dash in weekly media;
-- press contacts,
-- events & conferences organization (speaking engagements),
-- Reddit and other community outreach avenues; - Working internally to develop the new products to be a part of the emerging P2P crypto economy Dash should be able to power as its currency with marketing that further drives development and merchant adoption.
This Proposal joins our efforts into a needed structure with the technical, sociological and innovative side of the Dash Project. It places all creative energy on the boat that sails in one direction and spreads the message. It aims at creating excitement without and within. It does not want for many a valuable project to linger in a limbo alone, trying to find its place under the sun on by itself, its gives everyone and every effort a space in the Dash World: Micro-economy of Dash it, we strive to create.
